Severe infectious diseases,i.e.antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) resulted from successive infection with different serotypes of dengue virus.After its introduction into Brazil in 2015,Zika virus has spread rapidly to more than 60 countries and regions by the end of November 2016.Some south-east Asian countries including China have also reported cases of ZIKV infection.In recent studies,it was observed that sera cross-reactivity antibodies or such monoclonal antibodies have been elicited by two domains,ED1 and ED2,of envelope (E) protein on Zika or/and Degue virus,and ADE was easily induced by such antibodies.Dengue fever epidemic often occurred in Chinese coastal provinces each year.Then,it will be followed by Zika virus disease.Therefore,we must pay attention to and propose replying measurement for it.

Different from fasting blood glucose reflecting the basal glucose level of the body, the post-prandial blood glucose gives us the information about the highest glucose level during a day. It has been proved that post-prandial hyperglycemia (PPG) is associated with cardiovascular diseases more closely, which may be caused by oxidative stress, hence the management of PPG is of great meanings. But what is the effect of PPG control on the treat-to-target blood glucose management? This is a question worth discussing.

Objective To investigate the association between HLA classⅡgenes and bullous pem-phigoid(BP).Methods HLA-DRB1,DQA1,DQB1were determined by polymerase chain reaction se-quence specific oligonucleotide probe methods in56patients with BP and150normal controls from Shanghai area.Results It was shown that HLA-DRB1*10(*1001)was linked to DQB1*0501,and its frequency in-creased significantly in BP group compared to normal controls.There was a positive correlation between DRB1*1001and mucosal involvememt as well as autoantigen BP230.HLA-DRB1*04was linked to DQB1*0302,and its frequency increased significantly in BP group compared with normal control.There was a positive correlaton between DRB1*04and autoantigen BP180.The frequency of HLA-DRB1*12(*1201,*1202)decreased in BP group compared to normal controls.Conclusions It is suggested that HLA-DRB1*1001and DRB1*04be the susceptible genes while DRB1*1201,and*1202be the protective genes of BP patients in Shanghai area.

Objective To evaluate the effect of pituitrin and nursing for patients with vasoplegic syndrome after cardiopulmonary bypass. Methods 38 patients with cardiopulmonary bypass after open heart operation were divided into two groups with 19 cases in each group according to odd-nunbered and even-numbered days, the PT group was given pituitrin treatment, the NE group was given norepinephrine treatment. Heart rate, MAP, urine volume were recorded at 0.5, 1, 2, 6, 12 and 24 hours after drug therapy.Mechanical ventilation time, ICU stay time,hepatic and renal function and clinical symptom were compared between the two groups. Results MAP and urine volume increased significantly at 0.5 hour after pituitrin therapy. MAP increased from (55.33±4.10)mmHg to (67.34±4.13)mmHg. Urine volume increased from (0.08±0.02)ml·kg-1·h-1 to (1.84±1.21)ml·kg-1 ·h-1 MAP and urine volume also increased at other time points. In the NE group, MAP increased at 1h after treatment. Both MAP and urine volume increased at 2h and later after norepinephrine treatment. One death happened in the NE group. Compared with the NE group, the PT group was associated with lower ICU stay, mechanical ventilation time and 24h serum LAC.Liver and kidney function, myocardial infarction, nausea and vomiting, and other side effects were not different between the two groups. Conclusions Application of low-dosage pituitrin is rapid, efficient and safe treatment for patients with vasoplegic syndrome after open heart operation.

Objective To investigate the organ protective effects and the timing of continuous blood purification (CBP) in the treatment of severe sepsis. Methods A double-blind randomized controlled trial was conducted. Seventy-four patients with severe sepsis aged between 35 years and 80 years with acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHEⅡ) scores over 20 admitted to Department of Critical Care Medicine of the First Hospital of Wuhan from January 2013 to January 2015 were enrolled. They were divided into control group (n = 37) and treatment group (n = 37) by random number table method. All patients in these two groups received conventional therapy following the guidelines for management of severe sepsis in 2012. In addition the patients in treatment group received continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH). The critical score, liver and kidney function indexes, etc., levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines in plasma and ultra filtrate before and 24, 48, and 72 hours after treatment, and the clinical picture 2 weeks after treatment in two groups were observed. Results APACHE Ⅱ scores, multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) scores, Murray scores of acute lung injury, and systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) scores of the patients of the above two groups were gradually declined after the treatment. The levels of white blood cell count (WBC), procalcitonin (PCT), lactate (Lac), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukins (IL-6 and IL-8), and endotoxin gradually lowered. Levels of blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine (SCr), alanine transaminase (ALT) and the oxygenation index (PaO2/FiO2) showed a tendency of lowering. There were statistically significant differences in scores of critical illness, WBC, PCT, Lac, pro-inflammatory cytokine, liver and kidney function indexes, etc. between treatment group and control group 48 hours after treatment (APACHE Ⅱ score: 15.5±4.7 vs. 20.3±5.3, MODS score: 4.6±1.4 vs. 7.3±2.2, Murray score: 1.4±0.5 vs. 1.7±0.6, SIRS score: 2.9±0.8 vs. 3.7±1.0, WBC (×109/L): 1.1±0.5 vs. 1.6±0.5, PCT (μg/L): 26.7±12.0 vs. 32.4±14.1, Lac (mmol/L): 7.6±2.2 vs. 9.3±2.8, TNF-α (μg/L): 96.3±17.4 vs. 153.4±24.2, IL-6 (μg/L): 146.8±20.6 vs. 213.8±29.2, IL-8 (μg/L): 287.1±43.6 vs. 354.5±56.2, endotoxin (kEU/L): 1.4±0.5 vs. 2.6±0.8, BUN (mmol/L): 8.7±3.6 vs. 18.5±6.4, SCr (μmol/L): 143±39 vs. 197±42, ALT (U/L): 141±27 vs. 183±34, PaO2/FiO2 (mmHg, 1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa): 150.3±45.4 vs. 124.7±32.1, all P < 0.05], and the difference was significant up to 72 hours. In the treatment group, TNF-α, IL-6, IL-8, and endotoxin could be decreased in the filtrate 24 hours and 48 hours after treatment and they correlated with the lowering tendency of their plasma levels. Compared with the control group, CVVH based on conventional treatment of severe sepsis could significantly reduce the incidence of MODS (10.8% vs. 29.7%, χ2 = 4.423, P = 0.038) and mortality (5.4% vs. 13.5%, χ2 = 4.674, P = 0.032), and remarkably shortened the duration of mechanical ventilation (days: 3.1±0.6 vs. 5.3±1.7, t = 2.103, P = 0.045), and the length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay (days: 8.5±1.7 vs. 13.2±2.4, t = 2.245, P = 0.042). Conclusion Early CBP can decrease the level of pro-inflammatory cytokines, prevent MODS, and remarkably improve the prognosis of patients with severe sepsis.

Objective To determine the current prevalence and risk factors of metabolic syndrome (MS) among adult residents in Chinese developed areas.Methods The clinical data of 6614 adult residents,including 4051 women,from Guangdong and Jiangsu provinces from China Diabetes and Metabolic Disorders Study (2007-2008) were analyzed.Age and sex standardized prevalences of MS were calculated according to the criteria of Chinese Diabetes Society (CDS),US National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel Ⅲ (ATP Ⅲ),International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and Joint Interim Statement (JIS),respectively.Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the risk factors of MS.Results Age and sex standardized prevalences of MS were 17.88％ (CDS),28.50％ (ATP Ⅲ),21.99％ (IDF) and 31.50％ (JIS),respectively.The prevalences of residents with at least one metabolic abnormality were 67.86％ (CDS) 79.56％ (ATP Ⅲ),79.62％ (IDF) and 80.74％ (JIS),respectively.MS was more common in female than in male by the ATPⅢ and IDF criterion (ATPⅢ:30.63％ vs 26.45％,P ＜0.01 ; IDF:26.04％ vs 17.91％,P ＜ 0.01),while the prevalence was higher in male by CDS criteria (15.94％ vs 19.87％,P ＜0.01).There was no significant difference in the MS prevalence between the rural and the urban residents.Kappa test showed ATP Ⅲ and JIS criteria were most homogenous (κ =0.95,P ＜ 0.01).The risk factors for MS by the logistic regression model were male,older age,lower degree of education,family history of hypertension and obesity,drinker as well as uncontrolled diet.Conclusion The prevalence of MS is high in the adult residents of Chinese developed areas (Guangdong and Jiangsu provinces),whatever diagnostic criterion was used.Effective measures should be taken to control the modifiable MS risk factors.
